Isaac Sinka a weightlifting athlete based at the OYDC Zambia has presented three silver medals he recently won in Tunisia during the African Senior Championship. Sinka won his first silver medal so quickly, his second medal came after how he carried out himself on stage and the third one came after winning the overall performance. The three silver medals he won made him become the first Zambian weightlifter to win three silver medals at such a high-level competition in the 55 kg bodyweight category at the first attempt. Sinka's performance at the just-ended Tunisia senior Championship which attracted 98 including Egypt, Nigeria, Tunisia, South Africa, Madagascar, Botswana, and Morocco was one of his best personal records. 2018 marked the beginning of Sinka's weightlifting journey at OYDC Zambia with different challenges being faced but couldn't stop him from becoming a champion. Isaac looks forward to minting a gold medal as he continues his quest to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Commonwealth Youth Games. In receiving the medals, OYDC Zambia Chief Executive Officer Dr. Fredrick Chitangala congratulated Sinka for his outstanding performance in a category where they were eight athletes. Chitangala said that the management will make the gym at the center available for his training as he continues to prepare for other upcoming competitions. The Tunisia championship was also used as a qualifier for the Paris 2024 where Sinka won.
